SALEM, Ill. — Dozens of people evacuated from their homes when a chemical-carrying train derailed were allowed to return early Friday after authorities determined nothing dangerous had leaked.
Canadian National spokesman Jim Kvedaras said two tanker cars that derailed contained phosphoric acid, a chemical often used in processing food and soft drinks. Direct contact with its liquid form can be hazardous, but it is not prone to vaporizing, said Illinois Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Patti Thompson.
